I finally got a new camera! It's a Canon powershot sx20is. For those of you who don't know, my Canon powershot sx10is was stolen in Chicago at the Museum of Science and Industry...
So I thought I'd let you guys know...

So I'm spending the weekend in Minnesota with my family, save my little brother, and I'm having such a good time. We arrived around 9, we went swimming and then watched man v. food. This morning we had breakfast then went back to our room, watched more TV (iCarly) and now I'm sitting at this awesome computer in the "Business Center" on the 3rd floor of our Hotel. Never before have I ever been to a hotel where they have free computers anyone can go on....I love it! So when my mom, dad, and brother come back from the U of M campus tour, we're going to Mall of America! Tommorow........... WE'RE GOING TO THE VIKINGS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!! I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!!!

Because my dog has an injury on her foot, she has to wear a cone. She doesn't quite get the concept that there is an invisible forece field around her head. So she gets stuck walking around corners and going up stairs. When she tries to walk up to me her head stops a couple inches be fore my face, it's so funny. I told her when I first saw her with the cone on, "You are an embarassment to be seen with, even in the privacy of my own living room."

After school, today, I was standing outside. Now, there are hardly any trees around, yet I could hear the wind roaring through the trees, waaaaaaaay across the street. And it wasn't just a little roar, it was an overpowering roar. After hearing that, it reminded me of how little, and powerless I am. I get that same feeling when I think about how little the Earth is compared to all of space. It's really humbling....
I felt like I needed to share that.

When our cats spent the night out on the roof yesterday, they must have been bitten by something....because last night one of our cats, muffin, tried to kill me. As casual as you please she sits right next to my face (i could feel her fur on my face, yet still breath) and then relaxed completely so her skin was blocking my nose and mouth. I hit my head on the wall pulling my face away....Then after deciding that suffocating me was too harsh she tries to be nice to me by licking my eyelids. I figuratively kicked her out of bed.
